From William Gray’s blog post “Always Be Workshopping,” we take the following points:
- Not every writer can write every day–and that’s okay.
- Use the time between writing sessions to think about your project.
- Thinking the plot and individual scenes through inside and out before you begin to write will allow you to start from a stronger place–to make sure that there are no holes in the balloon you’re about to blow up.
